ABOUT THE MISSION

SI's mission in Mozambique, which began in June 2021, has been expanded since 2022 through the development of integrated, multi-sectoral "RRM, food security, WASH and livelihoods" programming.

The 2024 programatic strategy is based on 3 axes with emphasis on the the the following FSL activities 

A/ Emergency life-saving response to populations affected by natural disasters and to IDPs and newly arrived returnees in underserved districts :

• emergency food rations distribution / food distribution

B/ Restore dignified and safe living conditions for vulnerable populations : 

• FSL: Small scale food production with trainings and sensitization to nutrition good practices to improve food security, distribution of fishery kits to fisherfolk and trainings

C/ Strengthen access to livelihood and sustain access to public services through reinforcement of local infrastructures

• FSL:  Work on the revitalization of the main value chains through recapitalization of lost agricultural inputs, support to agricultural production/support to fishery, support to markets, transformation and conservation. Work on populations resilience through implementation of VSLA, vocational training and IGA.
• FSL: Build partnership with development actors (Cesal, Oikos) to establish linkage between early recovery activities to development

Currently SI is working on Two projects with FSL components (in addition with ECHO RRM project with Food rations distributions) implemented mostly in Mocimboa Da Praia district : BHA and CDCS which both support population with food assistance, seeds and tools distributions; agricultural trainings for dry and rainy seasons in 2024 & 2025 (more than 5000 vulnerable households); revitalisation of farming cooperatives and groups, and the implementation of irrigation system on family scale... Thanks to these two projects, SI can also get an impact on fishing comunities living in the coastal villages and in Mocimboa City: through fishing kits distribution to fishermen and fisherwomen, revitalisation and creation of cooperatives, construction of fishing boats, support of the fishing sector (from construction to transport and commercialisation), dynamisation of the value chain...
